Darrell Hammond is one of the most prolific comedians of his time. He holds the title for being the second-longest running cast member on SNL at 14 seasons, and has served as the show’s announcer since 2014. He has appeared in a number of feature films—a few of which include Weiners, Scary Movie 3, Scary Movie 6, Agent Cody Banks, and The Devil and Daniel Webster—as well as numerous television shows such as Law & Order: SVU, and Third Rock from the Sun. He frequently tours comedy clubs and theaters, where his quick wit and masterful impressions have made him a favorite on the comedy circuit. While he has impersonated a number national figures throughout his career, his imitations of US presidents have earned him the highest acclaim. He made a surprise appearance with President Bill Clinton in April 1997 at an event before celebrities, government officials and members of the press. He also performed at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2001, where he received a standing ovation in front of 2000 members of the media and President George W. Bush. In recent years, he saw a massive resurgence in his popularity due to his uncanny impression of Donald Trump, whom he first began impersonating in the late 1990s.
In addition to Darrell Hammond’s comedic talents, the event will feature excellent cuisine prepared by Jamul Casino’s award-winning chefs. Jamul Casino has been recognized annually as the winner in several categories of the San Diego Union-Tribune’s “San Diego’s Best” Reader’s Poll. The Casino’s fine dining restaurant, Prime Cut Steak & Seafood, has also received a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for five (5) years running.
